Silent Friends

A Quaker Quilt

BY MARGARET LACEY

Brief Description:
Rooted on a small farm in the heart of Iowa, the stories in Silent Friends take us on a profound journey not so much over distance, but through time. The stories in this collection interweave the lives of three generations of a small Iowa Yearly Meeting conservative Quaker family who cared for that small farm and for one another. The stories reflect the author's deep and abiding love for the land, yet they also richly express the connection of people to a specific place and to each other. Silent Friends offers a view of broad landscape and of interiors, as gentle people struggle to be fully human with themselves, their family, and neighbors.
